The Minister of State gave examples involving ESB and Bord na Móna. As part of their transition plan from fossil fuels, ISIF could fund those companies for transition projects. I do not believe ISIF could continue to fund them to build peat-burning power stations or coal-burning power stations. However, funding could be allocated as part of their transition plans. Does the Minister of State see any merit in that?
